Description:

This swap is just like the fun one @Beckster did a couple months ago.

Here are the rules. You will have one partner and fill an envelope of any size with at least 10 items from the list below:

• A book page with an illustration on it (doesn't have to be for kids)

• An old (over 20 years ) advertisement

• A postcard

• A ticket to an event

• A brochure

• Something made of tissue paper

• Something for a child

• Colorful packaging

• Something with beautiful or strange handwriting on it

• 5 used postage stamps

• A piece of gift wrap

• A party favor or party decoration

• Instructions for something

• An unusual label

• A newspaper or magazine clipping from long ago

• A black and white photo

• An old greeting card

• A fancy paper napkin

• Part of a poster (unless you want to send the whole thing)

• A 4"x4" (10x10 cm) piece of square of clean vintage fabric

• A piece of ribbon at least 3" (7.5 cm) long

• A found piece of art (or a part of one)

• Something vintage not listed here

Please, no scrapbooking items. I like scrapbook stuff, but this swap is about found (probably used) objects, not things that most of us can buy new at our local craft or scrapbook store.

Make sure your items are clean and in good shape. No digging it out of the trash can! Send something you'd like to receive. Although this is sender's choice, I always encourage participants of my swaps to read their partners' profiles and try to include a few likes and stay away from dislikes.

I totally love your swap! But should this not be a type 2 swap?

May I be so bold as to say ... no printing stuff out off your computer either.

Thanks, back to your regularly scheduled programming ...

Amen. Totally agree.

Well the type of swap does kind of matter to newbies that are trying to build their ratings. Usually type one swaps do not count. Just sayin ;-)

Sorry! This is a type 3 swap. I mistakenly marked "1" when I set it up. It has been changed. Thanks for pointing that out!
